Each year, Stage 2 proudly presents multiple performances that showcase the talent, creativity, and dedication of our students. From student-led showcases to full-scale theatrical productions, every performance is designed to challenge our members artistically while engaging and entertaining the community. Our productions are family-friendly, affordable, and created with pride by the students themselves.
Each December, Stage 2 hosts its annual Student Showcase, a special performance celebrating creativity, collaboration, and leadership. Members are placed into small groups and assigned a piece that is choreographed and led by students, giving them hands-on experience in both performance and direction. Groups rehearse for approximately two months before presenting their work for friends and family. This showcase highlights student initiative, teamwork, and artistic growth in a supportive and celebratory setting.
Every June, Stage 2 presents its major summer production, offering students a fully immersive theater experience. During this production, members participate in every aspect of the theatrical process, including building sets, creating costumes, managing publicity day, selling advertisements and tickets, and performing through acting, singing, and dancing. This hands-on approach allows students to gain real-world experience while working together to bring a professional-quality production to life.

William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a whimsical comedy that explores love, magic, and mistaken identity. Set between the royal court of Athens and an enchanted forest, the story follows four young lovers whose romantic pursuits are hilariously disrupted by mischievous fairies and a magical love potion. At the same time, the fairy king and queen, Oberon and Titania, clash in a supernatural feud that spills into the human world, while a group of well-meaning amateur actors adds humor and heart to the chaos.
As spells are cast and confusion unfolds, love is tested and reality blurs with illusion. In the end, harmony is restored, misunderstandings are resolved, and all awaken transformed by the magic of the forest. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a joyful, family-friendly celebration of imagination, humor, and the unpredictable nature of love.
